Nice! Thanks for sharing Bruce.

What kind of camera/mounting you have hanging on your outside clips?

Hey Mike, I'm using a Hero camera by GoPro for all the shots.

AWESOME Bruce, thanks for posting, now I really can't wait until I'm driving the Dragon in a few weeks as part of a necessary stop on our Southern road trip.

Beautiful vid!

Absolutely love the camera position - really feel the side to side carve through the road's course.

Thanx for sharing.

Bruce, THAT WAS GREAT!! Your best video post by a long shot.

DUDE,, you almost T - boned a cop! Bet that got your attention.

I was going to ask if you after seeing your last post of this adventure with all the early morning shots if you were flying solo. (didn't think you'd be getting all the females in your house up at the crack of dawn on a weekend for a spirited drive) Video answers that question. Took a weekend for yourself? Or was this just a one day drive?

Thanks for the vid bud. Keep 'em coming.

Great video and nice soundtrack. Haven't heard that in a while. Living down here, I can only dream of taming the dragon.

For Bruce and others that are from the area. Seriously thinking of taking my 13 yr. old son on a road trip to the dragon and BRP. Is there a suggested route, say if I want to spend 2-3 days in the area?

Also, was going to ask about cops but you came close (in more ways than one!). I would imaigne the tail is heavily patrolled? Also, someone mentioned getting in before memorial day, which won't be possible. Are there better days of the week/times where it would be less crowded? thanks.
